police - 4th Oct 2009 7:49pm
alright all, just thought id tell you whats happend to me this weekend.
firstly i got pulled routine (as you do) to get told my mot was out by 4 days so it ended 30/9/09. so they gave me a producer. only to get home and look thru the previous certificates and find that it's nov 30/11/09. Realising i have'nt got the very last certificate (didnt get it when i got the car) the cetificates for the last 10 years state the 11 month which is november. Anyways goes tonite to the local station with mot's they said " only the previous mot certificate will prove you have an mot" Is i dont have this they will prosicute me unless i get it mot'd within the 7 day period. Am fuming at the fact of i didnt realise it was due or i would have had it done. I dont see the point in driving without everything in check as you only get caught no matter how long you get away with it. So as from tomorrow i have to get the car in for an mot, have work done whatever needs doing on it and have a pass certificate be next sat or i will be faceing a summons to court.
I completly admitt if i had known i would of had it in for an mot no probs, just aswell i went tonite and not left it untill the week as i would seriously be getting my ass chewed.
